This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right patella with external fixation device, percutaneous endoscopic approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 0QSD45Z

UNSPSC 85704821 Reposition right patella with external fixation device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a surgical procedure code for orthopedic fixation—does not align with the work actually being solicited under it in state and local postings.

The recent opportunities tagged to this code are medical services RFPs spanning occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, emergency medical services for youth in custody, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve the orthopedic surgical procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests either a data tagging error or a significant gap between the code's clinical taxonomy and how state and local procurement systems categorize medical services contracting. Issuers include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and County of Santa Clara Health System. No single buyer repeats in the recent block. Geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Washington State, Texas, and Florida, with no concentration in any single region. The City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) and the County of Santa Clara's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) are representative of the mix. State and local procurement under this code code does not track orthopedic surgical procedures; buyers are instead using it to classify ancillary and administrative medical services.
